Parenting After Divorce
Once you have finished gathering all your divorce information, sought all the divorce advice that was out there, found divorce help by hiring an attorney and financial planner… after you have learned everything there is to know about how to get a divorce there is one decision that has no fast, cut-and-dried answers: how to raise your children in two households.
Custody of the children can be a major talking point when negotiating a divorce settlement. Depending on how near or far from one another the parents choose to live, it is possible for children to spend equal time with both of them. Once the marital home is sold (if this is what you decide to do) you may work it out so that both spouses can live in smaller, separate homes within your children’s school district. Furthermore, alimony payments can help out with the mortgage.
What ever you and your spouse may do or argue about, don’t sucked into the trap of neglecting your children. As a parent, the kindest thing you can do is to arrange a quick and easy divorce lasting from a few weeks to a month.
If the circumstances of your situation allow it, joint physical custody of your children may be the healthiest option. A child may struggle to understand the mere concept of divorce; all the more so when coping with divorce. When both parents are available to their children, life after divorce can be a time of healing.

Joint physical custody should be the healthiest option but if you have one ex using the kids or an ex not putting their needs first, it’s not going to happen agreeably or peacefully. In some counties, it won’t happen at all if the other parent doesn’t agree (that’s what we were advised in our county). It’s a shame that children’s lives and parental relationships are so affected by a parent’s anger.
I think allot of women today need to get on with their lives after divorce with children. To many women play head games with their chlidren. If they only realized they are hurting the children & later on it will only come back to haunt them. Its not fair they put children in the middle of there mess. Its not there fault for the divorce. I am a single mother for 17 yrs. my Ex & I never played games with our son. I am sick to see what allot of women do to hurt there kids. It is so upsetting to me that there are so many sick women out there. And I am a women. Get over it & stop using your kids as a weapon.
